Yesterday’s workplace hazards are still at the top of today’s most frequent violations.
One thing you can say about workplace safety violations: companies are very consistent in their noncompliance. Every year, OSHA releases their findings of the top 10 most frequently cited violations, and for the third year in a year, it’s the exact same violations on the list. While the rankings within the Top 10 shifted slightly over the past year, the same group of violations that made the 2024 list, and the 2023 list, appear again on the 2025 list.
“While progress has been made, the consistency in citation rankings year after year signals that yesterday’s hazards are still today’s vulnerabilities,” pointed out Lorraine Martin, CEO of the National Safety Council. Martin’s remarks were made at the 2025 NSC Safety Congress & Expo in Denver, Colo. “Employers, safety professionals and communities must intensify efforts through robust training, regular hazard assessments and leadership accountability to protect workers and save lives.”
Eric Harbin, regional administrator with OSHA’s Dallas, TX, office, presented the preliminary list at the NSC Congress. The preliminary results are based on federal OSHA data; data collected from state OSHA agencies is not included in the list.
The number one violation, as it has been for many years, is again Fall Protection—General Requirements. And other violations related to construction (specifically, roofing) continue to rank high as well, such as Ladders (# 3) and Fall Protection—Training Requirements (# 6).
